Public bug reported:

VLC backend does not work on Mac. Instructing OpenLP to use vlc backend
causes OpenLP to stuck and the application is not responding.

Video playback starts when not trying reset video playback in openly.
However the issue is that playback start in an external window and not
in openly window.

Getting vlc backend to work is platform specific thing and this needs to
be implemented specifically for Mac.

The issue is: Force vlc backend to render video inside a Qt window of
OpenLP.

To fi this we will need implement similar code like the following file:
http://code.google.com/p/movie-content-editor/source/browse/trunk/VLCMacVideo.py

Technically speaking wrapping native Mac OS X NSView window into class
QtGui.QMacCocoaViewContainer.
